Chinese New Year – Lantern Festival

I’ve been quiet these few weeks due to working on my other writing projects and enjoying Chinese New Year. A few nights ago I took Mei Mei to the Lantern Festival in Taipei. They did a fabulous job with such details. I really loved how they had a walk through history. Enjoy!

Qin Shi Huang Di is famous for the Great Wall, the Terracotta Army, as well as unifying the country of China.

They also had some that Mei Mei enjoyed more than others…
